TimeDateIncrement

Function : Time
TimeDateIncrement - Increment binary TIMEDATE value.

#include <misc.h>
STATUS LNPUBLIC TimeDateIncrement(

    TIMEDATE far *Time,
    LONG  Interval);
Description :

This function increments the contents of a TIMEDATE structure using the specified increment. The value of the increment is taken as being in 10 millisecond units.

Parameters : Input : Time - A pointer to a TIMEDATE structure containing the Time/Date you wish to increment.

Interval - LONG containing positive increment in 10 millisecond units. 100L = 1 sec, 1000L = 10 sec, and 6000L = 1 minute.

Output : (routine) - Return status from this call -- indicates either success or what the error is. The return codes include:

NOERROR - Incrementing operation was successful . ERR_TREQ - TIME must be specified, not just DATE. The TIMEDATE stucture provided was set to the TIMEDATE_WILDCARD (more specifically, the Innards[0] member of this structure was set to ALLDAY, which is usually used as a wild-card in database operations).

Time - The address of the TIMEDATE structure in which the original value, plus the increment is returned.

Sample Usage :

   /* Increment the copy by a given interval in (10ms units)       */

   time_increment = 6000L;       /* increment TimeDate by 60 secs  */
   if (error_status = TimeDateIncrement(&binary_td2, time_increment))
       goto Exit;
